46、推理題。作者在文章中否定了多個關(guān)于肥胖和鍛煉的錯誤觀點。根據(jù)第二段最后一句the main reason is that they share the same habits of eating too much and exercising too little可知肥胖和遺傳無關(guān)，和我們的飲食習(xí)慣以及鍛煉太少有關(guān)。A項說法是錯誤的。B項的說法與文章相反，人們肥胖是由于攝入太多引起的。文章只是說記日記可以讓我們知道自己吃了多少。只有D項說法是正確的。 41.A 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段1,2行The key is to develop a balances and varied progr
